18/06/2026 Face to face consultation

The chest XR results came through - all ok. So now, according to my GP, the next step will; be a CT to look for signs of sarcoidosis. Nothing happening about that yet but I have an appointment with him early next week.

Had a rather heavy cold last week and that's left me - of course - with a lingering chesty cough. Just to confuse things! 

I had my most recent face-to-face with my haematology consultant last week. All blood numbers still good, no developments, carry on as usual...

However, possibly because I was wearing shorts in the hot weather, she was struck by the leg/ankle swelling in the left leg in particular and decided there must be some sort of fluid return problem there. About time too, as I've brought the subject up several times before with no effect. She ordered an angiogram (CT with contrast medium) and - with amazing NHS efficiency, I had that a couple of days later. Results are due on Sunday. I'll report when I've seen them.

'Bye for now...
